Reagan was an unusually pleasant fellow. BB doesn't have that type of charm. Not even close!
While liberals didn't like Reagan, part of the reason was he was very good at politics and very popular due to results of his politics. The man was nearly immune to stress and believed in his vision
I remember back when he was at the end of his second term. Tom Brokaw ( Who I like and respect ) tried to catch Reagan off guard by saying he wasn't liked by the poor and blacks. Reagan wasn't shaken or bothered, and calmly explained that when he was younger playing football there were two African American players who could not get a room in a hotel. So he brought them to his parents house and they were welcome. Those were the values he was taught and lives by. Even Brokaw himself lost his political affiliations for the moment and had nothing but admiration on his face.
RR wasn't prefect, but I do believe he was a top USA President. The best in my lifetime by far, and perhaps the best I will ever see during my lifetime.
Pick up the talk at the 8:00 mark at the below link:
Netanyahu is essentially Israel's version of a Conservative Republican who believes in, among other things, a strong national defense. Like Reagan.
The paradigm is different on the other side of the pond. Right-wingers over there are about on par with Democrats over here. People over there who are like Conservatives over here number about three dozen.

After i came across this campaign i started following other work the Shaviv agency did. I was a bit disappointed to see time after time the same "Infotainment" method used. I assume if it ain't broken, don't fix it, but it is a reminder that simple messages work. Look at this ad from Serbia, a country in the Balkan parts of Europe - same idea : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anoMXaTweQE
I find this interesting to watch and examine while we are being shown so many ads these days. Most of them are made to scare us, and are not so entertaining.
